Overview

You set a password on a folder, called a vault, and open it as a virtual drive; files moved onto that drive are encrypted automatically, filenames included, using AES with a 256-bit key. Cryptomator Hub adds centralised key management, user and group management, and audit logs for teams.

Best for: Individuals and teams wanting client-side encryption of files kept in any cloud storage service
Pricing: Desktop use is free, mobile apps and desktop dark mode are one-off purchases from €29.99 per platform, and Cryptomator Hub Standard is €12.00 per seat per month excluding VAT, with a free self-hosted Community edition and custom Enterprise pricing.
